A college physics department has been operating a "computer games station" in a corridor, with unrestricted access. The design of this station and summary of programs used are described. Program focuses on acceleration, rotating vectors, Maxwell's demonstration, wave display, and Fourier synthesis. (JN)

Describes the implementation of a trajectory-plotting program for a microcomputer; shows how it may be used to demonstrate the focusing effect of a simple electrostatic lens. The computer program is listed and diagrams are included that show comparisons of trajectories of negative charges in the vicinity of positive charges. (TW)

Describes a special camera that can be directly linked to a computer that has been adapted for studying movement. Discusses capture, processing, and analysis of two-dimensional data with either IBM PC or Apple II computers. Gives examples of a variety of mechanical tests including pendulum motion, air track, and air table. (CW)
